4. Staggeringly Good
Portsmouth, Milton, Hampshire, England
From the moment they started they knew they weren’t cool. They didn’t have beards and attempts at growing them were humiliating and embarrassing for them and their families. So they set aside their facial wax and combs and focused on what they knew best… brewing quality beer (and dinosaur puns)! Hatched in 2015 by three clean-shaven friends with an obsession for beer and dinosaurs, we have quickly become known as one of the UK’s highest-rated breweries. Yes it’s all got a little out of control since we first said “Hey shall we get together on Sunday and brew some beer?” Now there are grown up things like bills, but don’t worry we’re not going to let that get in the way of us having a lot of fun. Catch you at the tap room soon dino-riders!

6. Little Monster Brewing Co
Lavant, West Sussex, England
Globally inspired, locally crafted. Gypsy brewing fresh, modern, big flavoured beers. Collaborating and innovating. Always improving. Little Monster Brewing Company was founded by award-winning brewer Brenden Quinn who has had a passion for craft beer since travelling in Canada in 2000. After arriving back in the UK and not being able to find any similar beers, a mate suggested he should get a home brew kit to start making his own. In 2018 his brewery was born, named after his daughter who he calls affectionately “my Little Monster”. The name came instantly to him, as he wanted to dedicate all that he did to his little girl and the inspiration she gave him. The name is fresh, modern and fun - exactly the approach to the beer he makes.

8. Crop Beer Co
Southsea, Hampshire, England
Humans have been brewing longer than they have had dogs as pets. The traditional farmhouse brewers of Scandinavia used to pass down recipes from generation to generation, they didn’t know why they did what they did, they just knew it worked and made beer. They didn’t have fancy gadgets for measuring PH or temperatures they brewed by senses like a chef. As brewers we are both scientists and creatives, scientists test theories and creatives add some flair.
